    Most of the time Murphy beds are indeed mounted onto the rafter supports (studs) or onto an interior partition wall. If you plan to use a bed that folds vertically where the head or foot of the bed...

    I don't know squat about domes. Good luck. To anchor my 16' yurt, before I built the platform, I made a roof harness from old 11mm climbing rope. I made a loop the circumference of the rafters...

    I bought my 24’ yurt used and it had two doors. Very lucky because I know I would not have sprung for the second door. I now think a second door is pretty important safety wise. Even if you never...

    I used ICS SIPS in Ft. Collins, CO. Amazing product and what helped for the floor was they have a cam system that squeezes the panels together tight. That's really hard to do on floors and you...

    I agree with the wind kit. Most of the time it is packaged together with a snow kit too. My yurt has 48 studs. Each are bracketed to the rafters and the deck. The walls are screwed to the skirt...

    Im in a process of using them due to the soil. I hope within a month or two to be able to give some feedback. The system looks amazing and no worries about a floor not being level over time.
